Gamma Phi Beta: Epsilon Beta Chapter

The Epsilon Beta chapter of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority was founded on Alma College's campus in 1984. Members of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority are proud of our rich and accomplished history, dating back to our founding on November 11, 1874, at Syracuse University in New York.

In a society where women were discouraged from attending college because of their "insufficient brainpower" and "delicate health," four friends came together to form a women's society. They bonded together to face adversity and to encourage one another's intellectual growth. Now, more than 135 years later, we celebrate the vision and dedication of those women -- and all who have come since then -- who have built Gamma Phi Beta Sorority into one of the largest and most well-respected sororities in the world.

As a member of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority, you get to be you – and become the best you possible! Our lifetime leadership and educational opportunities equip strong, intelligent women with the tools they need to achieve their greatest potential at any stage in life. In Gamma Phi Beta you develop meaningful, lasting friendships with other women who offer encouragement and inspiration and will always be by your side. In fact, the term "sorority" – meaning sisterhood – was coined for Gamma Phi Beta, and while many other women's fraternal organizations are incorporated as "fraternities," Gamma Phi Beta remains a true Sorority. Connect with more than 175,000 unique women today and discover why our Sorority is a true lifetime experience.
